TLDR
In this article, a packet string having variable packet intervals is converted into that having even packet intervals with each of the packets being attached with a time stamp as information for reproducing original packet string.Abstract:
In transmitting a packet string having variable packet intervals by converting the packet string into that having even packet intervals with each of the packets being attached with a time stamp as information for reproducing original packet string, when the value of the time stamp, which is decided by adding a specified offset time to the synchronization time, is not smaller than the value of the time stamp attached to the previous packet, the time stamp is attached to the packet and the packet is transmitted. If the value of the time stamp becomes not more than the value of the time stamp attached to the previous packet as a result of providing shortened offset time due to increased bit rate of the original packet string, the packet is discarded so as to protect the transmission from being stopped.read more

Method and apparatus for aligning time references when separated by an unreliable data packet network
TL;DR: In this article, a time control mechanism accepts samples of time (true or otherwise) over a network, and enables dynamic compensation for random delays of the network (105 and 106) in order to maintain the output of a slave clock (1029) within required bounds relative to the time of a master clock, even when the samples are randomly delayed.
